John Kass On Hastert: "Thief Of Innocence" And "Face Of Evil"

Unfortunately for the American public, what should have been the most newsworthy story in the nation yesterday got lost amidst all of the hoopla surrounding the circus known as the 2016 presidential nominating process. That was the sentencing of one of the highest-ranking federal government officials in our nation's history that arose from crimes he committed to cover up his existence as "serial child molester" in the words of the federal judge who handed down the sentence of former Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert.

The Chicago Tribune's political columnist John Kass, who is probably privately worrying that his newspaper may be acquired by the evil face of Gannett, sat in that courtroom yesterday watching the "face of evil" as he faced his fate for structuring cash payments intended as hush money to one of his victims to avoid federal authorities and an unsuspecting public from learning about his dirty little secret. Kass focuses in a column today on what he describes as "equally bloodless and calculating" to Hastert's sins as a serial child molester--the "letters of mercy" sent to the judge by Hastert's allies. In particular, he focused on the letter Hastert had sought but failed to get.

Hastert called his political protege Tom Cross, the Oswego Republican and former state House minority leader, to ask that Cross write a letter of mercy to Judge Durkin.

It was one of the most galling things I've ever heard of in politics.

Because one of Hastert's victims was Cross' brother.

Scott Cross testified courageously in court and he became emotional.

"I looked up to Coach Hastert," Scott Cross said. "He was a key figure in my life. And Coach Hastert sexually abused me."

Scott Cross testified about how he revered Hastert, how Hastert offered to massage him so Cross could lose weight, how Hastert pulled his shorts down, began massaging his genitals until shame and shock forced Cross to jump up and get away.

It was difficult to watch him, a brave father who wants his children to understand their obligations as citizens. And it was difficult to look at Tom Cross and the family sitting there in the courtroom, watching.

Judge Durkin, a former federal prosecutor himself, made it clear in his own questioning that Hastert asked Tom Cross for a letter.

Hastert said he didn't remember abusing Scott Cross. I don't believe him. But at that moment you knew he wasn't getting probation.

Durkin pressed him and Hastert said that he'd "respect" Scott Cross' recollection.
He'd respect it? Like he respected his brother Tom?

Like he respected the other high school wrestlers he would molest? Or the other boys he'd watch as they showered, as he sat in the lounge chair he put near the shower stalls in the locker room?

The abuse is monstrous, yes, but even monsters have blood. What Hastert did in asking Tom Cross for the letter is bloodless. Only a supreme narcissist could ask such a thing of a brother; only a congenital user and manipulator could ever conceive of asking.

Only the damned could ask for something like that. But Hastert asked it of Tom Cross.
If you've been following this story, you know that Judge Durkin sentenced Hastert to 15 months in federal prison. Hastert is ill now, but aren't politicians always ill and pitiful at sentencing?

There is no fixing a child abuser, and though we're told of five victims, I wonder how many more are out there . . .

As Durkin spoke, you could see Hastert's chin stretch and become longer, as if the jawbones themselves were unhinged, the weight of the meat pulling it all toward the floor.

The former speaker's hands were folded tightly in front of him, and that public face stretched and fell away, revealing what was underneath:

The predator, a thief of innocence, a breaker of trust and a devourer of children's lives, a user of friends, a Combine boss.

As poignant as Kass' words are, they are too little too late for him and his brethren in the mainstream media who have ignored for decades the sinister pedophile ring that has existed at the highest levels of society and government in this country. Back in the 1980s, there was hope that the dark veil of this satanic underworld would be lifted as some brave reporters began exposing what was known as the Franklin Scandal originating out of Nebraska's Boys Town, which revealed a network of elites trafficking in children for the sexual pleasure of those at the pinnacle of power. Unfortunately, those pushing to bring the powerful elites to justice were soon marginalized and caricatured as tin-foil hat conspiracists, the same fate met by every brave American who attempts to expose the evil forces who've robbed us of our Republic.

The "thief of innocence" described by Kass is the only member of the evil political caste system we have in this country that ensures that only the most flawed and controllable of men and women can rise to positions of power in this country who will face any music for his crimes--fifteen months in prison, a mere slap on the hand for a man who rose to the third highest office in the nation and amassed a multi-million dollar fortune after his humble beginnings as a high school wrestling coach. As Hastert rode away with his two sons in a Cadillac Escalade from the federal courthouse, I can imagine his first words, "Well, that wasn't so bad." We'll have to take a solace in the fact that he's the highest ranking government official in our government history required to serve time in a prison for his crimes since the punishment clearly doesn't match the crime.

The word "evil" does not even begin to describe Dennis Hastert, who Sibel Edmonds modeled her powerful Republican monster, being deliberately set up by three different government spy agencies so that they could black mail him into submitting to the NWO plans, in the only novel she has published. Thanks to her, John Kass, and you, Gary, for trying to let the people know, as well as to Alex Jones for his powerful video statement from yesterday, up at Facebook, "Dennis Hastert: Child Raping Demon Sentenced." I really appreciated how forward Donald Trump was last night at the Indiana State Fairgrounds, in pointing out the "inadequacies" in the very media sitting before him (who now have about a 6% approval rating, eh.} Btw, it took child victims going to the police to get Dennis prosecuted, not the government employees who knew and had evidence about his destruction of the innocent children/

AFter reading into the details of the Johnny Gosch kidnappping story and its ties to the Franklin Scandal - in addition to the whole creepy Bohemian Grove connections all tied to political elites, I have little doubt that pedophilia is one of the qualifications to get recruited and promoted up the power ladder in this country's political system (as Hastert was). We are controlled by psychopaths. It's sick. Britain even worse -what's been revealed about Jimmy Saville and his ties to the British big-wigs.

In my opinion, you have an entire IPS school board that needs to be charged for what I think was their crimes and the crimes of their hired gun. Fish rot from the head and so does IPS....a good solution is to lop off the head.

Years ago I read an interesting book about spies. The name of the book escapes me. One technique used by the KGB (Soviet version of the CIA) and the CIA and other organs of state security was to turn a person to your side using black mail. The black mail took on several forms of corruption, illegal business dealings, bribery, drug abdication, alcoholism, sexual preference or extra-martial affairs. The deal was in simple terms do what we say, when we say it and you will be protected.

I have a hard believing that Dennis Hastert stopped molesting boys when he became a congressman. How many more are out there that Dennis Hastert molested that will not come forward for different reasons. It is equally difficult to believe that many others probably some in law enforcement were clueless about Hastart.

I don't put much stock in "conspiracy" theories. However, I firmly believe that political, corporate, and religious elites are engaged (and have for a very long time) in these sexual predator schemes. There are just too many stories of child sexual abuse scandals - in the U.S., Europe, etc. It's time the media expose these creeps!
